Is Soft-Tissue Therapy Safe for Pregnant Women?

Pregnancy can bring all kinds of changes to the body — from postural shifts and joint strain to lower back discomfort, pelvic tension, or swollen legs. If you’re pregnant and feeling the effects physically, please do get in touch.

Soft-Tissue Therapy can still be helpful and safe, depending on your stage of pregnancy and the nature of your symptoms. I’ll always assess your needs carefully and, if I believe another specialist would be better suited, I’ll be happy to refer you.

If treatment is appropriate, we’ll take every measure to ensure your comfort — using supported side-lying or seated positions, gentle techniques, and lots of check-ins throughout.

The goal isn’t just to reduce pain — it’s to create a calm, grounded experience that helps your body feel supported in this season of rapid change. And if you’re navigating pre-existing issues like sciatica, pelvic girdle pain, or muscular tightness during pregnancy, this work may offer real relief.
